I'd been thinking of the cult follower kind, and honestly, this works great for it. It's somewhat akin to what I'd been thinking in my head when writing it but like, stands out way better honestly.

Darn...I'm not entirely sure then, this was the only thing I've been able to find on where it's stored so if that's not correct I don't know. Sorry.

They should be stored as a vampgame ini folder which I believe it automatically defaults that route to being in appdata.

Oh my gods I completely forgot with everything going on lately. (I keep having suddenly really busy weeks thrown at me out of nowhere). 

So terribly sorry about that (Also, wasn't about to find the username on discord). But I am looking forward to seeing what you've made. I can squish down the dimensions for the sprites in game but I'm currently working with them being 150x150 so that they fit into the whole dialogue box and all. 

While I call them major updates, it's more just, me trying to differentiate them from the little hotfix updates and such that I do when bugs are found or stuff doesn't quite feel right (Balance issues typically). Each update is basically me introducing a new feature, and the paywall is in part there so that I can try and fix bugs on it before the public release, and in part just, well, trying to give people something for supporting me with working on this.

At the very least, I can assure you that I'll never do that kind of terribad thing as described in the latter paragraph there. The moment bugs are found I do the best I can to fix them and get the update out, and I fully intend to keep doing that going forward. Hells, if it means pushing forward a public release of a patreon version because that's where it's fixed, then I'll choose that over having it be broken for people. (Though I should hope that it's never in such a state of disparity between them that it would be a possibility.)

Things have been a bit rough lately with the heat over here (Makes me all lethargic so it's been hard  to focus on the game). But have been steadily making progress on a major quality of life update. Hoping to have it done before two weeks from now, but there's still a lot to do for it so will just have to see.

I'm going to be trying to see if I can add that with the next major update (Since in the game's current state I don't think combat would work on android and the one handed mode the Quality of Life major update adds should provide the last bit needed to fix that.)

I think it should be fixed now. Couldn't find anything wrong with most of the equipment, but the gauntlets weren't correctly checking the cost against your current gold, so that was hopefully where things were going wrong and that's fixed now.

Have added in a little dialogue to notify that this is, in fact, the max size description here. (There are a couple large ones for her presence in town but those are few and far between and more just stuff I intended for later but realized I could put in now)

Huh...Do you recall what you bought from them to have the gold go negative? I'm looking at the code and the code SHOULD be checking "Hey is your gold equal or greater than the cost?" before it lets you purchase that thing, and it minuses that same cost variable that it checks from your gold, so it shouldn't be able to go negative but clearly something's going wrong and I can't figure out what it would be.

The thumbnail art is by Jimbohusky (I can't find their post for it, but you can find the art here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59039505/). I'll see about adding in different dialogue for those sizes if you give her a comparitively huge amount, and as for Sprite work, I'm always glad to accept help on that. I'm just a game designer/programmer (Though I am working to try and do better with art now, bit by bit).

I definitely want to do this. Just am not really sure how to yet. The game saves to an ini file and I was hoping it would read the same file between versions but it seems it doesn't.

That I do. This was just the initial release and I've got plans for plenty of updates to come. (Just haven't been able to work on them yet due to holiday and new years busyness but things are finally starting to settle down a little.)

Ah, I see where I have gone wrong. I...accidentally had the gloves stat checking themself twice (Once against your gloves, then against your leggings) instead of having the leggings checking against your leggings. Should now be fixed, and I'm so glad you've been enjoying the game so much.

Yeah, more hits is better. I did do a quick little fix roughly around when this post was made that should have fixed this display issue. Refresh the page or download the file again and if it's still messing up with this tell me (No idea what would be causing it now though)

OH! Oops, I messed up and was having hits compare itself against time and vice versa. Should be fixed now. Thank you for pointing this out so quick.

The game saves through an ini file which it reads from so that should already be able to happen. (Not sure why it's failing to read it in some cases)

I definitely want to eventually get the stats colour coded for that, but it turns out it's a lot harder than I thought it would be to manage that with gamemaker. I have figured something out but it's going to take way longer to implement than I have before the holidays with how busy things are being so the next update is most likely just going to have a simple (+)/(=)/(-) to show if a stat is worse as a kind of bandaid fix.

The damage per round calculation is a good idea that I'll try and see if I can implement but not entirely sure if I'll be able to manage it before holiday stuff has me too busy to work on it.

Been really busy lately but going to be trying to get out an updated before the holidays proper that should make it you never get gear that is objectively worse than your current gear, buffs the attack of weapons (Since they are the only slot that gives attack) and should raise the minimum time for higher hit rate weapons.

Thank you so much for the feedback here. Wish I could help fix the lack of art too but sadly I'm not really good enough with my own spritework yet to be able to fix that.

OH! The savagely attack is supposed to do the absolute maximum damage you could inflict with an attack, and looking at the code. It is actually doing that, just I forgot to update the formula the description uses.

Been really busy and haven't gotten much time to work on this lately but will try to put out an update before the holiday's to fix this (Along with some QoL things).

I'm not sure how the code would work for mobile. I could give it a shot at some point, but it's likely going to stay PC only for a while.

All of the sprites are done by my friend Ash (Sadly I can't really do any good art myself yet). But if they end up making some for Selvata, I'll make sure to add them.

I'm using Gamemaker which does GML, and am not super good with using strings yet, but am doing my best to learn and improve, so will hpoefully be able to put this to use soon. (Since I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find an equivilent function for GML)

Oh don't worry, there's plans for her to go bigger. But that will be for a bigger update.

The skipping bad drops is a very good QoL thing that i should probably have thought of myself when doing it. As for accessing previous equipment, an inventory system is something I have considered doing, but would likely be a more significant update due to how much I'd likely need to do for it.

Already got plans for a one-handed mode when I'm able to find time to do so.

Bigger than earth

More hits means more potential damage that you deal. It doesn't matter how many you hit in a row, just how many you hit. You also deal more damage for how much time you have remaining, but the amount you hit contributes more.

That then gets boosted by your attack (Which your weapons attack adds to) and compared to the enemies defense to see how much you deal.

OH! Oops, I increased the monster's item drop rate in the most recent patch and both forgot to mention it in the devlog and also forgot to adjust the discard appearing to match the new drop rate. Should be fixed now.

Probably some 1 in 1000 bug or something that's going to be a nightmare to figure out what causes it, but thanks for reporting the error. if I ever figure out what tripped it I'll make sure to do what I can to fix it.

I...genuinely have no idea what's going on with this error. I've tested this myself and it's worked fine for me. Sadly there's nothing I can really glean from the error that's been thrown here either. The best I could gather is that it's tried to run script used for the attacking timer, since it has the illegal time source thing here. But it shouldn't be doing that with Selvata at any point, and it's somehow throwing the line -1 as the one causing the issue which is just...what? There isn't a line -1.

Really sorry that I can't help with this. If anyone else knows Gamemaker language that can figure out what's the problem here I'm glad to do what I can to fix it though.

Yeah, I need to figure out how to do the first two since they're just, currently stuff I'm not sure how to implement into it. The last one though is something that I am going to be working on. Will try to get it and a bunch of fixes and balancing done as soon as I can since I'm going to be rather occupied for a while.

Yeah, this frustratingly happens sometimes with it and I have no idea why it does so. Apparently its just an issue that pops up ocassionally with games made in Gamemaker. I've tried a bunch of stuff to see if I can figure out what's causing it to flag the warning, but the only thing I can find is that it doesn't have a security credential (Or whatever the term was)

Sadly I'm not entirely sure how I'd be able to add that functionality right now for swiping as input. I probably could do an on-screen d-pad for it though. Will see what I can do about that when I'm able. (Have had a busy day since posting the game that's ended up leaving me feeling under the weather on top of being exhausted, so going to be resting up a bit before working more on this)

Oh my goodness! I'm glad that you've been enjoying it enough to get that far into it. Am thinking I might need to put some caps on stuff or something now since apparently some people have been having numbers get so big they error out. But am really glad that people have like, enjoyed it enough to get to those values.
